So much of this site is jumbled up and half done with the new theme. Frankly,
despite the number of people who like it, it's driving me crazy. I hate to
look at it and call this my work. So the Player Meikan section is coming down
until I've had time to clean it up and bring it up to speed with the rest of
the site.

So the field has been announced for the upcoming 87th Haru Koushien (aka Senbatsu). And while I goofed in only putting one team from the Hokushinetsu and Tokai regions in my projections, had I done it properly, I would have had all but one of the main 29.

Players who have met again wearing the same uniform in four years were all smiles. They are Lee Seung-yeop, 39, and Alfredo Figaro, 30, who started off-season training together in Guam on Sunday. Lee and Figaro played for the Orix Buffaloes.
